The variable Boost_DIR is not for the usage you think about. It must be used 
only if your installation of Boost used boost-cmake. That is not common.

It if BOOST_ROOT you should set. If that is not sufficient, have a look at 
the 
section "Boost libraries" in the Installation chapter of the CGAL manuals:

http://doc.cgal.org/4.2/CGAL.CGAL/html/installation.html#title47

I also suggest you set Boost_DEBUG:BOOL=TRUE if you have any issue with the 
script FindBoost.cmake. That will display extra information.
